The interior has been completely transformed with fresh professional paint and elegant recessed lighting across the entire main floor. The heart of the home is the fully remodeled kitchen, boasting premium finishes and a full suite of new high-efficiency appliances.

BOTH enclosed decks allow you to enjoy the breathtaking mountain views year-round in luxurious comfort. The exterior has been significantly upgraded for beauty and longevity with new hardscape steps, a professional retention wall, and optimized drainage systems. Curb appeal is elevated by custom shutters, fresh exterior paint, and high-efficiency gutter guards. Located just 10 minutes from the vibrant city of Ellijay with its fantastic shopping and restaurants, and only minutes from Carters Lake and Blue Ridge Lake, this "better-than-new" cabin is a true East Gilmer masterpiece.
